10 Bizarre Wrestling Movies You Must Watch

10. Body Slam (1986)

This is it, fans: the Citizen Kane of wrestling films. 

Not because it's revolutionary, or genre-defining, or even very good. No, because it's a bastardized retelling of the life of a media titan. Instead of the legendary Orson Welles portraying a newspaper mogul that's suspiciously similar to William Randolph Hearst, we get TV's Dirk Benedict as a fledgling wrestling promoter who hits it huge by combining rock n' wrestling.

There must be someone in wrestling history like that, right?

The filmmakers likely avoided the kinds of lawsuits that Citizen Kane wrought by making their faux-McMahon a decent guy. Dirk's M. Harry Smilac learns to be a better man by watching Wild Samoans matches and ultimately destroys the unjust pro wrestling monopoly of Captain Lou Murano, played by Captain Lou Albano.

And what a cast! Roddy Piper! The Tonga Kid! The Barbarian! Charles Nelson Reilly!Billy Barty! John Astin! The, uh, the one lady from That 70's Show! No, not that one, the other one. Yes, her.
